The National Assembly has officially reactivated its fifteen standing committees with a defined roadmap. The plenary session, with 138 assembly members present, approved new deadlines to process pending reports, strengthening legislative work and institutional oversight. The committees will have up to 60 days to resume projects pending since the previous legislative period. In turn, a ten-day deadline was established for the most recent legislative reports to be delivered without further delay.
This reactivation responds to the need to break with the paralysis inherited from the parliamentary transition. The measure includes the emblematic Organic Law Project for the Protection and Defense of Animal Rights, which returned to the Biodiversity Committee after being suspended on May 12.
Among the most active is the Economic Development Committee, led by Valentina Centeno (ADN), which is already working on executive projects such as the law against the criminal economy. However, most committees will only resume their work this week.
The Health Committee has prioritized projects on cancer prevention, diabetes, and organ donation, with a focus on postponed public health. Meanwhile, the Tax Regime Committee will evaluate contractual and energy distribution reforms, as well as fifteen new accumulated proposals.
